December Board + Residents Meeting
TOMORROW, Tues. Dec. 5th
7:00 pm
PLB Theater
Please join us for the last Board + Residents meeting of the year, which will be held in-person at the PLB Theater. We'll be doing wrap-ups on our activities this year, including updates on security, parking, landscaping, pool and gym, and interactions with the City over issues important to residents. 

We are also preparing for the 2024 Board elections, which will be held in early January. Have questions about the process - or even want to run? Come talk to us.


Love and Condolences
We are sad to note that our Vice President, Ramiro Castro, lost his younger brother Christian in November. Christian was a delight. He often helped Ramiro with PLBRA's Thursday Night Movies, where some of you may have met him and bonded over favorite movie lines. Christian was a committed volunteer who lived to better his community. If you'd like to send your condolences or help the Castro family with expenses, please visit Christian's site on Ever Loved.

Who says we never tell you anything? Here are THREE THINGS to be aware of at Park La Brea this week.

Thursday Night at the Movies: 
CLUELESS
Thursday, September 14th
Doors 7:15, Movie 7:30
Park La Brea Theater

As if!
It's been 28 years, and those houndstooth miniskirt suits and over-the-knee stockings still look good. Come hang with Cher, Dionne, Tai, Murray, Travis and Elton as they navigate the trials and tribulations of attending high school in Beverly Hills. Join us to watch Clueless on the big screen, and help find the answer to the eternal question:  Why does Paul Rudd never age? (PG-13, 1hr 37min)


Property-Wide Road Resurfacing
 You may have seen the email alerts and the parking signs: Prime is resurfacing the roads in Park La Brea. If you park in general parking, please observe the signs and park in an appropriate spot to avoid being towed. Access to some reserve lots and garages will also be impacted, so if you have a reserved parking spot, you should be paying attention as well. We've uploaded a handy copy of the dates and the map, if you need another one.

One Year with Valet Living Trash Service: Survey
Tower residents have "lived" with Valet Living for a year. It's time to take your temperature regarding the service. Please take our Valet Living 1-Year Experience survey.  We're planning to total the results and report at our October 5th Board + Residents meeting - so add your feedback today. 
Take the Survey Now

Tower residents have now had a year of using the Valet Living trash service. In advance of our next PLBRA Board + Residents meeting on October 5th at 7 pm, PLBRA is collecting feedback from residents on the experience. We'd like to be able to approach PLB management and have a constructive conversation about what is working and what is not. Please take the survey below - and of course, we welcome your comments about using the service after you take the survey. Please be civil in the comments - any aggressive or personally-directed comments will be deleted.

Here are three things you can do this week to entertain yourself or do a little good for the Park La Brea community.

Thursday Night at the Movies:
JURASSIC PARK
Thursday, August 17th
Doors 7:15, Movie 7:30
Park La Brea Theater
 
Relive the chills and thrills of the original Jurassic Park! What was your favorite part? The scary animatronic T-Rex or sexy reclining Jeff Goldblum?  No matter what you love most, join us in the PLB Theater to experience it again. 🦖🦖🦖  (Rated P-13, runtime 2h 7min)

Sign the PLB Non-Smoking Petition
It's time to protect our community. The Park La Brea Residents Association Board went on record a number of months ago supporting PLB's transition to a non-smoking property. We started a petition, and there's still time to sign it. First step would be to remove smoking areas from common-area parks, which are in violation of PLB's own rules. Please sign and share with your family and neighbors. Our goal is 1,000 signatures - we're almost 25% there.
Sign the Petition


Send us some photos.
 We're concerned that PLB is looking a bit disheveled lately. We'd like to point out where the biggest issues are - weeds, trash, untrimmed lawns, dog poop, paint, apparent structural problems. Please snap photos when you see things, and send them to us at [email protected]. Please identify the location where the photo was taken in the email, so we can effectively pinpoint and report it. And please note that we are NOT looking for issues inside your apartment - if you're having a problem, report it to [email protected].
